Stos, it was shot at around f/10, I don't have my exif reader on this computer but I remember it being 10 or 11. I think what you're seeing is a bit of motion blur, as I was mixing strobes with ambient and as far as I know AB's don't have HSS, so it was at 1/200. I didn't notice it on the LCD, but thinking back I should have lowered the front bare strobe a bit.

5/10... good start, i dig the composition, maybe just a tad looser on the top so u dont chop his head... i think u missed focus a little bit... make sure to focus on his eyes... the right eye seems a little out of focus.. post some more!

7/10 nothing all that exciting about the photo. I'm not sure if you exposed the background brighter than the subject as a stylistic choice, or just because, but perhaps a reflector to pull some light back onto her face? In this particular photo, it might be better to expose the subject brighter than the background. I dunno. sucky critique sucks.

9/10
Really digging that shot but nothing's perfect. If you got the chance, I'd be really interested in seeing this same sort of shot in a super high end luxury car. Something with all sorts of bells and whistles and lights would look awesome. But that's beside the point, great shot man.

This is a repost, I did a piss poor 10min edit on this the first time I did it, this time I spent about 35ish minutes. It may be hard to see all I did, but I did a whole lot. Anyways... sorry for the re-post guys, just want a new opinion on a photo I actually worked on this time around. :p

oh and if you could give your opinion on if this should be in color or B&W, that'd be awesome as well! Thanks!

7/10. This is much better then the original! Some of the best styles are editing are making it look like you did nothing, so it still look natural. Take pride in that. ...I vote color. I gave it as 7/10 because I am a fan of over the head in this photo, she is evenly well lit, but not a 10/10 because I am not a huge fan of this pose/background. but it looks good.
